## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Trace relied-on content to independent sources and check for relevant material the output has missed.

- What the AI does: From the supply or funding contract and the possession or attachment date, say whether the collateral is inventory and calculate the last day for a registration that claims purchase-money priority. The tool does not decide that the interest is a purchase money security interest.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether the interest is a purchase money security interest, whether inventory or the 15-business-day rule applies, and whether the registration states that claim.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. The lawyer decides that the interest is a purchase money security interest before any priority is claimed.
2. For inventory that is goods, the interest must be perfected by registration at the time the grantor obtains possession. For other inventory, at the time the interest attaches.
3. For property other than inventory, registration must be before the end of 15 business days after possession or attachment. Do not use a 15-calendar-day count.
4. The registration must state that the interest is a purchase money security interest. The register page says a missed tick cannot be corrected later.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
